Radio/TV stations & Web Development Jobs/Careers?

Looking for some insight on the radio industry and the station websites.


I have seen some radio companies post jobs for on-air dj and a webmaster in one position,


is this a career or just a job for a student.





Every station has their own website thats uppdated daily, so thats where the web design/graphic/design/coding come in play, but how can you do both, and if so how much will they pay you?





Seems to me thats a pretty stable job, just announce whats going on on air daily and update it online,





Also are they're other web development/IT/graphic design positions in the radio industry , maybe even the TV industry.





These sites are updated daily by someone, but no one really thinks about working for a radio or TV station when in school, usually only the big stale corporations.





Radio and TV will never go away, and the online presence just supports them.





Any thoughts or people working in new media within the radio/TV field would be helpful





Thanks


Any thoughts

I'd say go for it, but don't be shocked by the low pay and the long hours when your first start out. You may also be working weekends, holidays, or overnights. You also can be fired for most any reason...from being 'smarter' than your boss, to blowing a big posting, to trying to hit on the receptionist. I've also heard, and seen people canned for everthing from pronouncing something wrong on the air, to rival stations hiring someone away from a station...after getting them fired or blackballed. It is a cutthroat business.





If you really want to get a good idea, get cleaned up, and set an appointment to check out a tv or radio station. Ask the receptionist, or HR person if there is someone who could give you a tour. Broadcasting or Journalism may have 'new media' but still has 'old school rules'...meaning, you pay your dues, regardless of race, color or creed.





It 'seems' easy...until you have to do it. Then, you get amazed at how much coordination it takes to write, or even cover a news story. Even those in 'new media' have to have the same instincts of regular news folks when they put stuff on line.





However, its something that you have to experience...and, to me, if you are young, you should go for your dreams. If you don't, you'll kick yourself on down the road for not attempting it.
